Whereas apart from Jadeja, the main spinner will be Kuldeep Yadav. The fast bowling department will be handled by Gurnoor Brar along with Prasidh Krishna, Mohammad Siraj and Aaqib Nabi.
Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya did not get place in both the squads
Team India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has not been completely match-fit yet. The selectors do not want to take any risk regarding his workload, due to which youth have been given a chance in his place. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has not got a place in Team India's squad for the ODI series against West Indies. The selectors have decided to send Pant to domestic cricket. He has been appointed captain of the 'Rest of India' team for the Irani Cup, so that he can regain his rhythm and form by batting long and continuously there.
